![]() The whole thing is two halves of the story When they Cry which is the questions arc which is four episodes and When they cry solutions which is the anwser arc which is four. It's a bit confusing at first as in one chapter X happens and then in the next chapter Y happens all on the same day with the same charecters until you get to the "anwsers" arc. It's pretty messed up though the actual "anwser" to what was going on was a bit of a let down. While I never played Higurashi, if it's like the Anime that was based on it. They have a heavy emphesis on story and little actual game play or actual puzzle solving(though Analouge a hate story does present you with a minor puzzle or two if I recall) as it's just static images and text with the occasional branching path in the story, though Visual Novels did spin off from Japanese style of Adventure games which were a bit like the old Macventure games here in the states like Univited, Shadowgate and Deja Vu where you were presented with a still screen and a series of commands you clicked to interact with the game as I said VN's are more like choose your own adventure books while a adventure game is more focused on solving puzzles to progress, though there are exceptions like post Walking Dead Telltale games.īreegull: I am not familiar with this company but it is nice to see a new genre take hold here on GOG.

But until this week probably everyone in this site would have called it nothing else than an adventure game. From the demo, I'd say it is way more of a visual novel than the Sunrider series, for example. Humanity is about to be wiped out by a red star but this story is destined to stick around for much longer.Ĭarradice: By the way, did you play The Silver Case, available in GOG? Is it not what they call a visual novel? At least that is what the demo suggests: lengthy dialogue and exposition, made more palatable with a few clever tricks, but without interaction, followed by spells of (modal) interaction for the missions, in the vein of adventure games.
